  I was playing  a stroke player game yesterday. The game started with me and 2 other players,  player#1 didn't load or something and never made it to take a stroke, player#2 played with me till 4th hole and quit, so here I am playing buy myself as usual(lol) and around the 7th hole I drove the ball from tee over 400yds. I finished game and was hoping to see my longest drive ever record on my profile with drive over 400yds but it did not record it my profile. Why didn't my longest drive get recorded?

  My only guess is that you ended up in the rough (or in a bunker) in which case the drive is deemed a failure and not worthy of being memorialized.

  >>in other words - it doesn't count if you don't keep it in the fairway or on the green<<

  Stats are only updated for ranked games, One on one games are not counted. I have had 3 holes in one, but none appear on my stats as they were all scored in player v player games.

  It must be ranked strokeplay! (noted in your score history)

  It must land on FW or on the green to count.

  Rough or fringe(!) don't count, same at hazards or OOB.

  And then there is the chance that programming has been botched again...

  Alosso is correct in his comments. Tolley is incorrect.

  Then they must not have ended up in the fairway or on the green. A drive does not count toward your longest drive if it ends up anywhere other than the fairway or on the green. I hit one at 402 which was my longest drive at that time. Since then I hit one 417 yards which is my longest drive now.

  After reading tolleys post a couple of days ago, I looked at some posts on those who hit drives of over 400 yards. He may have a valid point. 
  
  I saw quite a few posts, with replays of drives that were well over 400 yards and in the fairway, but the player had a previous, shorter 400+ yard drive listed as their longest drive in the stats.
